ALL PROFESSIONALS | Workshop #3: Recovery Coaching: Key Competencies to Facilitate Pathways of Recovery
MORNING SESSION | 8:30am to 12:00pm May 24, 2023
This session is not available for live stream.
The afternoon session is a continuation of this workshop.
This workshop will review the roles and competencies of recovery coaches, distinguishing them from the distinct and complementary roles of treatment providers, therapists, system navigators and mutual support group peer mentors or sponsors. We explore the unique characteristics of clients with substance use disorders, some suffering from the effects of trauma or marginalization and techniques to create the conditions necessary for them to establish sustained recovery. We explore the concept of Recovery Capital, its measurement using simple instruments, and its many uses for clinicians, coaches and clients. Finally, we examine essential boundary skills, rules and regulations and ethical considerations for recovery coaches and those who employ their services.
Ray Baker MD, FCFP, FASAM, is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia, faculty of medicine.

In November 2022, he published Recovery Coaching Knowledge and Skills, a training manual. This workshop includes essential elements from his recovery coach training curriculum and critical information for therapists, clinicians, counsellors or people interested in learning more about recovery coaching.
